We Welcome You. Winnetka has retained the natural beauty that brought early settlers to the area.

The Village’s vision statement describes Winnetka as "...a village in a natural setting committed to its tradition of residential neighborhoods, citizen involvement, local shops and educational excellence...". Whether you are a resident or guest, we welcome you to take part in all of the things that make our village so great.
